What I think is happening is that there are two problems. One is the spoolsv.exe
access violation - in my case caused by having too many extra services running -
in particular "FREEMem", which runs in the background. I turned it off and got past
the crash in the network config. But things still didn't work. The computers could
not find each other even though they were in the same workgroup. Finally, I realized
that the LAN configuration was the second problem. By going into the LAN properties,
and surrepetitiously selecting INSTALL then clicking on PROTOCOL, and one at a time
choosing them all I got the right protocols. There is another thread on this same
site that addresses the second problem. I dont know if I should blame Microsoft or
DLink (My wireless router). It looks to me to be a Microsoft bug - shouldnt the default
be "all protocols", and then let people experiment with removing the ones they think
they dont need? The two protocols needed are (of course) TCP/IP and NETBIOS.
